What are the benefits of coteaching?

• Students receive more individual attention, are more engaged, and are allowed more creativity (Moreillon).
• Students have access to more resources and are more involved in their assignments and projects (Moreillon).
• When collaborative planning occurs, lessons are better designed, more integrated and are more easily differentiated (Moreillon).
• Teachers benefit from the exchange of ideas that occurs when collaborative planning occurs (Moreillon).
• Teachers benefit from increased teaching time due to fewer classroom management issues (Moreillon).
